First Sunday (sort of) Daughter Reviews: June 2017

We were driving home from vacation last week (yay for vacations!), which is why this is a week late. In fact, most of the girls will be gone this week at camps, so “summer” (as in: trips to the pool, watching too much TV, and being bored) doesn’t really start in earnest until next week.
